Patel, who looked upset, along with some other Congress MLAs then headed to Vora's office after the completion of the Question Hour.

Before going inside the Speaker's chamber, Patel turned emotional and broke down. Later, Patel told media-persons that Vora has apologised to her during the meet.

"During Question Hour, the Speaker asked me to sit down and said, 'don't be over smart'. Such comments were very shocking for me. It was like an insult to a woman. When we took up the issue with Vora, he tendered an apology, which I have accepted," Patel told media persons.

Vora too gave his response after the meeting and accepted his mistake.

"I have apologized to Patel for my comments. Whatever I said was unintentional. I firmly believe that every member of this House must maintain the dignity of women," said Vora.
